Think I am going to use it for a few days and make sure its all kosher then use Advanced Disk Cleanup to reclaim the 25GB taken up by the prev install.

@theonedub

No its built into Windows, just open disk cleanup and select 'Clean up system Files' button on the bottom left- now you'll see previous installs of Windows listed under list of cleanable items. My old install is a whopping 25GB of my 256GB SSD.

This is my plan as well. I figured it ate up some space but I didn't want to get into it just yet, not til it proved fine.

All's well, day 2, activated. As long as it stays good, I'll be staying with it.

Yeah it cleared 23.5GB for me YAY.

Sad, he activated Win10... wow. I can upgrade my paid version of Win7 too, who cares, it's a piece of.... nevermind. I'm in a bad mood, mobo dying, just reinstalled windows again to just get online.... and who upgrades their os to a newer one without doing a clean install? Have to fix my piece of junk first, but MS needs to fix theirs too.

Microsoft stated all along that they will allow Pirate copies to be updated.

However users of pirate upgrades will not receive support.

It's slightly oversimplified above.

OEMs do receive support for activation issues they may have. They may be told they have to buy another copy, but they can talk to someone.

Pirates will be lucky if the activation hotline will even give them a live person when they punch in their number.

The way it tags HWIDs as "upgraded" and uses a generic key, it is still possible they can rescind a pirates activation, giving them only a taste.

I find this unlikely and feel they would rather everyone just migrated whatever the cost, but there is still that possibility. We have no idea what metadata is logged along with your mobos HWID. It wouldn't surprise me really if there is a "this person was a pirate" flag they can use later depending on their mood.

The product key is generic to all upgraded clients:

VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T... That's W10 Pro's generic one.

And no, I didn't just hack you and pull that from your computer... everyone who upgrades shares it. It only works though if your HWID is tagged as upgraded.

I just did an upgrade on a clean install on Windows 7 Home Premium (Tech Net key) and ran Magic Jellybean and got a different key then you posted as the generic key, and it is not the same as the Win 7 key.

So the key Magic Jellybean gleaned will allow me to do a clean install of Windows 10 Home now, right?

Home Premium upgrades to Windows 10 home (not pro). Here's it's generic key:

TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99

IDK about the generic key, but I am now doing a clean install of Win 10 Home with the key MJB gleaned for me. It took my key and is proceeding with the clean install from the iso made disk.

If it's the same machine you upgraded on, it will work. It tags your computers HWID essentially as upgraded.

There may be more than one generic key too, dunno. I'm only familiar with the pro version.

You don't think this is a disservice?
If you haven't received the notification yet, it is because the WU utility has deemed your system incapable of running W10.
I'm expecting a run of stupid questions now, wondering why they have issues.

Why? for me its a driver issue and just look at my system spec's. Every thing went fine but I had no Inrernet connection.

I re-verted and went to Asus's site and snatched the W10 lan driver. I hope this fixes the issue.

johnspack · Jul 31, 2015

It's really not worth pirating.... can't believe I finally bought a license.. now my system is fd up, I have to keep reinstalling windows, and I have to purposely avoid that stupid dam update every time. At least you can hide it now.
But in the middle of my dying mobo, I have to deal with MS trying to push Win10 on me right at this moment.... what the fuck? I'm agitated enough as it is! No MS, I don't want that crap, stick it.....

That is probably their method of dealing with the current product keys during the 30 days grace period for rolling back.
Once that has passed your current key is tied to W10.

they've also stated that W10 os's upgraded from non-genuine W7-8.1 will get a watermark, meaning their OS is non-genuine, and they will not get the updates. And i won't really get upset if MS will manage to deactivate my copy, it's not the end of the world.

Enjoy the extra intrusion i'm sure they will focus towards guys like you.
They have the right to record your voice and image from the webcam, also free access to your emails, contacts and skype everytime you use it.

Choosing the upgrade option on a laptop running 8.1 where I had reserved a copy of 10 worked great. No issues.
